    What spares would you carry ?

    I am planning a few trips this year , out to west where help may be a long long walk away.

    I carry
    Spare tubes ( front and rear)
    Puncture repair kit ( Co2 , hand pump etc)
    Spare Spark Plug
    First Aid kit.
    Cable Ties
    Electrical Tape
    Bourbon and Coke

    What other stuff would you take for the bike if going to remote areas ?
    Chain Breaker and spare links maybe ?
    CDI unit ?

    Make life easy for yourself keefy - strap on an NX250

    Spare tubes ( front and rear)
    Tyre levers
    Puncture repair kit ( Co2 , hand pump etc)
    Spare Spark Plug
    WD40
    Motor oil
    First Aid kit.
    Cheap leatherman tool
    12" of sheathed copper wire (rolled up)
    Cable Ties (that are long enough to wrap around your swing arm and chain guide....mine split and got eaten up by the drive sprocket. I used pvc tape to attach pieces of the guide back on as a temporary measure, but long ties are the business)
    Electrical Tape
    Bourbon and Coke
    Condoms in case you get lucky....baaaaa !

    Have a safe trip mate !

    That list sounds about right - I would add spare cables (throttle & clutch) run alongside the existing ones for a quick changeover. I would remove the bourbon, however, and replace with OVD.

    You're welcome
